[edit] Lack of references

I have removed the following text: /* Raiders of the Lost Arcade */ *General Colin PacMan is a reference to then United States Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Is there a reference to this? I don't believe the creators would make fun of a modern american hero.

Hello,

I extracted the phrase Q*bert speaks from the audio on the DVD and reversed it and encoded it into an MP3.

Would it be interesting to link it to the article?

Thanks

==Yes please post it up

[edit] Q*Bert vs Cubert

I know I've made the mistake before too but everyone please try to remember that the video game character Q*bert who Cubert is named after makes an appearance in this episode so don't change all the references to Q*bert to Cubert. Thanks and have a lovely day. Stardust8212 16:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kansas and New New York

Doesn't Leela say "Nibbler, I don't think we're in New New York anymore?" while at the end the "Professor" tells Leela to click the shoes three time and wish she was back at Kansas? Go Futurama! User:Sp3000 05:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

It as a reference to The Wizard of Oz. In fact, that whole segment is a spoof of The Wizard of Oz. I doubt it would make much sense (or more importantly: be funny) to someone without prior knowledge of the original story. Kranak 17:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wired Blog focusing on this episode

I recently discovered a wired blog entry that focuses on this episode. I've asked for clarification on whether it can be used as reliable source (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#A blog associated with a reliable source). If anyone is interested in using the info to improve this article the link is here. Stardust8212 15:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural References...

I have converted the Cultural Reference section in paragraphs. I have also added a short Reception section and a See Also section, which has a link to Anthology of Interest I. I will continue to add to this page to try to get it to GA Status. Fr4zer3000 (talk) 03:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bender's human form

It kind of resembles The Sandman from ECW Wrestling. 69.156.176.45 (talk) 03:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
